It reminded US citizens of potential disruptions to mobile phone service and that they should have contingency communication plans in place if traveling in-country.
“US citizens are urged to pay attention to local media for security updates and planned road closures and maintain good situational awareness and security wherever they travel in Pakistan,” it added.
